Translated: FSB finds zero-day exploit in Telegram they can leverage, or has back-doored it.

For real though, I've no idea if that's the case, but it's the only reason I can see them unblocking it. The Telegram team is well-respected, and from what I heard on-par with Signal. Maybe a bit less because Telegram is not Open Source whereas Signal is.


Yep looks like now is a good time for Telegram users to switch to Signal.
